I just installed Rogue RSM when I converted back to lower spring stock shocks. It is a good time to change it out since the rear trunk area is apart.
I like camber plate GB too. Might as well go all in :-) |

The only kit that I'm aware of that was developed properly for our car was KW, but they use progressive springs and twin tube shocks (clubsports use linear in front but still progressive rears). The kit would compare to an MCS single adjustable non-remote kit. You can't really compare it to the higher end kits, as those are for motorsports. So they're supposed to be rebuilt pretty often and are not meant or warrantied for street use. The R&T kit also has the DFV Valve, which allows it to absorb high speed damping for optimal performance. Read up on that link. From that same site: Quote:
I'm sure there are more reasons and hopefully others will chime in.

Is there any info on how they would mount the rear springs?
There are a few different ways, adjusters etc. & this is often an issue with keeping preload on linear springs. Kits like GC hang loose when the suspension is at full extension.

I can add it to my list of things to ask. So far I'm going to ask about RSM and camber plate specs (spring/shaft/etc.). Any other questions you guys have let me know.

It's the same as the JICs I had. They have an adjustment on the damper tube that lets you adjust the preload on the rear spring. With this design, they will definitely not hang loose like GCs. These are going to be amazing

I'm waiting on Rated M's dyno/AFR report, as the $ is currently put aside for FI. I'll be out for the time being

Great! Looks like we won't have any problem getting to 10. I'll see what kind of discount we can get if we get to 20

Another thing to add to the list; rear damper cable extenders.

I have ohlins on my bike and love them. I don't track my car and have H&R springs on it now. Just wondering would it be a good idea to get this set up, advantages for street use??

Essentially they're a very sophisticated setup, best of both worlds. Better daily ride & better tack too.

Looking at the 3 series, it looks like this may not be the case

I'm upgrading from KWs if that tells you anything. According to some H&R are harsh (although there are exceptions). Harsh is always a very relative term on these forums. For some KW clubsports are harsh, but some track junkies find them too soft Quote:
I'll definitely add it to my list of questions: RSM, camber specs and how rear springs are adjusted. Keep it up guys! Spend some time looking at E9X reviews on these coilovers, pretty much universally people love how they ride, the excellent performance and the fit and finish of these is absolutely top notch.
